Log Text: It is always disappointing to realise that practical considerations take precedence over the sanctity of an ancient site. Somebody thought it was easier to vandalise a stone circle rather than alter the course of a field boundary. At least the Sherberton Stone Circle has survived in its somewhat ruined state.

Log Text: Robin Hood's Stone is the definitive example of an anachronism, a standing stone in an urban environment. The green iron railings which imprison the standing stone emphasise it's alienation.

Ri Cruin submitted by caradoc68 on 23rd Feb 2012. This lovely cairn dates from the Bronze Age and is pretty new when it comes to the Kilmartin landscape. Hidden away in some trees just of the beaten track with its two kist's, this Cairn has a lot to offer with its large Kist's and its rock art of axeheads and possibly a caving of a boat in one of these kists !!.

Log Text: Ri Cruin Cruin is notable for two large exposed cists on the N & S Arcs of the cairn. I wasn't aware of the difficult to spot axehead carvings in the S cist at the time of my visit.
